I just have a hard time with the fact that it is 25 years already. I remember Siskel and Ebert talking about it as if it was yesterday. They hated the reaction shots of the baby and how so much of it was a retelling of Star Wars. The bickering sidekicks, the dashing hero, etc. I think they forgot that many of those elements are common to fantasy themes.
I have also heard the name of Colonel Green tossed around.
We are under an imposed blackout as are most markets. We were not even allowed to go on Social Media and say we saw the film.
Karl Urban said it is Gary Mitchell who is the bad guy. Blonde lady is Carol Marcus you think? I have had some say Nurse Chapel.
Hello,
It is in the link here. http://screenrant.com/roboc...
The director himself has said that making the film has been the worst experience of his career. He cites meddling by the suits, no ability to provide creative input, etc. Hugh Laurie jumped ship.
I am not big on surfing films. Insert drama, a setback, then a big finale where the wave is conqured. Seen it all before.
I am curious to see how this does.
Thats the beauty of it. I hope the studios get the message. Good writing, acting, characters, and storylines are what people want. Not endless reality shows. Their ratings are huge.
It was fairly close. Rich Orphan, was trapped on an island for a time, gets home, uses his fortune to fund his alter ego.
My big issue was that they have already covered the character and history fairly well with Smallville. To me, this was to soon to go back and retell the story. That being said, there is potential here.
The studios usually do not screen Horror Films for the press. They have been doing a bit better this year but the last 6 years or so, horror films have usually been off the table unless you are promoting a screening for the public and even then they tend to show it Thursday night before it opens.
This one was shown days prior to opening which shows that the studio has alot of confidence in it.
Running in place it seems, It is not the best yet the fans love it.
I wish they were in the main timeline. This future/alternate stuff is not working for me as well as the main formula did the first couple of seasons. But I am in til the end.
We kicked around a few ideas and in 10 min this is what we came up with. The ideas are there, just need to find them and nor be afraid to mix it up.

Hi,
I meant make up in the first trailer.
I have to say I am mixed. I was only so so on the original films as they were to long. This one has all sorts of bad signs. The Director walked, studio did not want Jackson but had to take him. Also, early footage was booed for being to jerky, they are adding characters not in the books and stretching it out to cash grab a third movie. Plus, the makeup has looked iffy and it just comes across to me as what I have already seen before over three films.
That being said, I loved...
Play that funky music white boy.
I agree. They need to shake things up a bit but not lose the core aspects of the books and series which is the morality of if it is right to bring the creatures back. There was a tagline for "Blade Runner" back in the 80s, man has made his match, now it is his problem. The same can be said in some ways here, our creation is now our problem.
Nothing from Disney. I can’t actually confirm was the response we got from Disney reps in multiple markets.
